Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles that communicate with other cellular components to orchestrate energetic homeostasis and signal transduction. In skeletal muscle, the presence and importance of LDs have been widely studied in myofibers of both rodents and humans under physiological conditions and in metabolic disorders. However, the role of LDs in myogenic stem cells has only recently begun to be unveiled. In this review we briefly summarize the process of LD biogenesis and degradation in the most prevalent model. We then review recent knowledge on LDs in skeletal muscle and muscle stem cells. We further introduce advanced methodologies for LD imaging and mass spectrometry that have propelled our understanding of the dynamics and heterogeneity of LDs.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism (TEM) stands as a premier Reviews journal in the realms of metabolism and endocrinology. Our commitment is reflected in the publication of refined, concise, and highly impactful articles that delve into cutting-edge topics, encompassing basic, translational, and clinical aspects. From state-of-the-art treatments for endocrine diseases to groundbreaking developments in molecular biology, TEM provides comprehensive coverage.
Explore recent advancements in diabetes, endocrine diseases, obesity, neuroendocrinology, immunometabolism, molecular and cellular biology, and a myriad of other areas through our journal.
TEM serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, lecturers, teachers, and students. Each monthly issue is anchored by Reviews and Opinion articles, with Reviews meticulously chronicling recent and significant developments, often contributed by leading researchers in specific fields. Opinion articles foster debate and hypotheses. Our shorter pieces include Science & Society, shedding light on issues at the intersection of science, society, and policy; Spotlights, which focus on exciting recent developments in the literature, and single-point hypotheses as Forum articles. We wholeheartedly welcome and encourage responses to previously published TEM content in the form of Letters.
